This was corroborated when Smith & Wesson grew, David Carrol who confirmed the scarcity of these maroon first issued boxed examples. In addition the the rare box, this revolver does not appear to have been fired. Cylinder does have a light drag line. Gun retains 99% of the original pre-war factory high polish blue finish. There is literally no wear around the firing pin and no cylinder burn. Has a serrated case colored trigger, early style case colored hammer with patent date on back, target front sight, and flush adjustable rear sight. Matching serial number on bottom of barrel and back of cylinder. As new inside and out. Beautiful pre-war checkered walnut grips have silver medallion and are numbered to gun on the right panel. Grips are like new. Even the box is in excellent to near mint condition with simple high edge wear. Comes with a copy of the original cleaning instructions. About as nice of an early model boxed pre-war K-22 one could find, nearly unimprovable. Serial Number-636306; Manufacturer-S&W; Model-K-22; Caliber-.22 LR; Barrel Length-6"; FFL Status-Curio & Relic;

In reading the fine article by William R.
